Shiv will walk over to the cheese... give them a really close sniff to the point where condensation starts to form on it from the hot air leaving his nostrils... "This smells really expensive..." The viashino says to the others, his mouth so close to the cheese that his forked tongue bounces off of the slices as he talks "I want to eat it but... I wouldn't want to take something that didn't belong to me.." Turning away from the slightly warmer, slightly more damp cheese tray and heading towards the door with the others.
Locke watches as Shiv stands over the plate of cheeses, takes in a deep breath then carries on. Locke then makes his way over to the cheese. He walks by casually and waves his has over the platter attempting to steal a couple pieces without notice then walks out the door behind the rest of the party.
"While we're waiting, I was wondering if anyone was familiar with Infernal? I focused more on primordial during my time at the Academy, but I picked this book up on my way over," Jevyn said, bringing out the book on necromancy as the group found a table to sit at in the Frowning Jester. Lowering his voice, he continued, saying, "It seemed both interesting and dangerous, so I procured it to keep it from falling into the wrong hands. The only issue is, I don't know if it's bogus or actually has some weight to it. I can't get much further beyond the the world 'lytrapilth,' which I think means something about dark magic."
(lol, I don't care if he takes them... I was just trying to make them gross while showing Shiv's temptation to eat them... so even though Shiv feels good about not taking them.. he kind of made them icky in the process :P)
Tak takes flight into the air above the group as they make their way back to the Cowardly Lion and will try to see if the group is being followed by anyone.
Tak percieves one dark figure as it stalks through the shadows of a back alley. Though the aracrokcra can make out no other figures, he gets the unsettling feeling that where one can be seen, two more lurk in the darkness.
Shiv, although a medium size will act like more like a creature much smaller than himself and climb up on to the back of Atlas, peering over his shoulder and taking in the sights while looking out for anything suspicious.. his tail whipping around at around eye level for most people walking past.
Shiv sees a man wearing a wide-brimmed pulled low over his eyes following the party at some distance. The man is clearly trying to remain inconspicuous.
Shiv, already on Atlas's shoulder whisper into his ear, trying to keep his tounge from flicking into the side of the warforged's face too much. "Hey, there is a guy with a wide-brimmed hat following us.. you wanna go see who it is? We could introduce outselves!" The green lizard will say, sarting to bounce a bit with his tail flipping even faster with excitement.
Atlas turns to see the man. "That sounds like a good idea. He is following us. He must be confirmed as either benign or a threat." With that, Atlas begins stomping over to this broadhat man with shiv along for the ride. "You there, Broadhat Man. Stop where you are!" The hulking metal man shouts at this stranger as he approaches.
Shiv will get excited and start quickly tapping the top of the warforged's head while pointing at the man. "quick, he is getting away! go go go !"The Viashino's tail whiping around as he excitedly tries to get the warforged to move faster through the crowd.
OOC: Just so we're on the same page, it is almost midnight and the streets are virtually empty, besides a few late night carousers, thugs, criminals, and beggars. The only light comes from a few street lanterns hung on the side of the road, and the moon is dim.
"Stop!" Atlas shouts. With Shiv's fervent encouragement, the warforged charges after the man full-tilt! For such a large, heavy construct, Atlas moves surprisingly fast! He bolts down the alleyway.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
The man glances back, and his eyes are filled with terror. He makes a leap to gain the gutter, and attempts to pull himself up to the rooftops.
Acrobatics: 7
His hands, slick with sweat, slip on the gutter and he falls onto a pile of garbage and refuse with a crash. "I'm just following orders," He mutters dazedly. " Don't hurt me. "
(is there any food left laying out in this fancy back room that is currently unsupervised? if so Shiv will take a bit)
There is wine and a platter of assorted (and expensive) cheese.

"Yeah! We just want to talk!" Shiv will say waving at him from over Atlas's shoulder
The sight of a hulking warforfged and a scaled viashano charging his way is too much for the man, and he sprints off into a back alley,

Locke sees Atlas and Shiv start to run towards him. Locke looks over his shoulder and sees the figure the two are running towards.
“Hey Shiv!” Locke yells out. “A snack for the road” he says as he tosses two pieces of fancy cheese to the Viashino.
Locke then puts both hands into his pockets, starts to whistle and continues walking towards the Cowardy Lion.
The man glances back, and his eyes are filled with terror. He makes a leap to gain the gutter, and attempts to pull himself up to the rooftops.
